Formed in Crawley in southern England in 1978, The Cure became one of the most influential bands of the post-punk era. The bleakness of Disintegration and the brightness of Friday I'm in Love sit in the same discography, and the band keeps both poles alive on stage.
What people talk about most is the length. Sets regularly pass three hours and include four separate encores — roughly double the average for a band of this size. Robert Smith's well-known position on ticket prices is the second thing that sets their tours apart.

Achievements and milestones
- Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
- Disintegration is regarded as one of the most influential alternative rock albums ever made.
- Headlined the Glastonbury main stage more than once.
- Have toured continuously for more than four decades.
- Started an industry-wide debate by holding ticket prices down.
Three hours and multiple encores
The show usually opens with newer or darker material and concentrates the classics toward the end. When the main set finishes the band leaves, but the night does not: three or four encores follow back to back, and a large share of the best-known songs live in them.
The practical consequence: leaving when the main set ends means missing the most familiar half of the concert. Work out the total running time and the last public transport departure accordingly.
- Sets regularly pass three hours and sometimes reach three and a half.
- There are three or four encores; the classics are concentrated there.
- Do not leave when the main set ends — the night finishes close to midnight.
- The setlist changes nightly from a pool of more than 200 songs.
Ticket pricing and how sales work
On recent tours the band refused dynamic pricing and kept categories within a narrow band. That means the gap between the floor and the upper tier is far smaller than on comparable tours.
The same stance carries into resale: tickets are often sold under the buyer's name and transfers outside the platform's own authorised resale section are restricted. Buying from the official channel here is not just about safety — it is about validity.
The Cure upcoming dates
How the European leg works
European legs usually fall in the autumn arena season; in summer they headline the big festivals instead. The UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia are their strongest markets.
At festivals the set drops to 90 minutes and leans on the familiar songs. For the full three-hour experience, pick one of their own arena dates.
Making the most of the concert week
The show ends close to midnight, so do not book an early flight the next morning; flying home two days later makes for a far easier plan.
On a London date, the British Museum and Tower Bridge fill the day before. On a Paris date, the Louvre in the first morning slot and a walk around Île de la Cité in the afternoon balance well. Keep the concert afternoon for rest — for a three-and-a-half-hour night you will need it.
What to know before you go
- The set passes three hours; prepare for it if you are standing.
- There are three or four encores holding most of the classics; do not leave early.
- The night ends near midnight — check the last public transport departure.
- The price gap between categories is narrow, so cheaper seats are good value.
- Tickets can be name-registered; never buy outside the official channel.
How to plan travel around the concert
If you are flying abroad for a The Cure show, the order should be: buy the ticket first, search for flights only once you have it, and stay in a neighbourhood 20–30 minutes from the venue by public transport. Plan to be in the city at least a day before; a morning-of flight that runs late means missing the show.
If the same tour has several European stops, compare the combined cost of ticket, flights and two nights' stay across three cities. London, Paris and Amsterdam sell out fastest and cost the most; Berlin, Milan, Warsaw, Prague and Budapest are usually easier for tickets and noticeably cheaper overall.
Keep planning
Frequently asked questions
How long is a The Cure concert?
Including encores it regularly passes three hours and sometimes reaches three and a half. Plan for four hours in the venue and arrange the trip home around that.
Is the show over when the main set ends?
No. The band plays three or four encores back to back, and a large share of the best-known songs sit there. Leaving after the main set means missing the most familiar half of the night.
Which ticket category makes sense?
Because the band keeps the price range narrow, cheaper categories are far better value here than on comparable tours. The production is lighting-led, so mid blocks see the whole picture.
